I think i'll be going for 19x9 (35+) and probably 19x10.5 (32+) work VS-xx (if i can find them in this fitting). I wonder if i could go more aggressive than this in front or rear. or whether 20's would be an option for a daily driver.

sounds like they already pushed the fenders and had them rolled. How much further can you really go???

The rear is going to take a lot of work but I am sure it can be done

I've waited 11 week for my set of VS XX.. I went with F=19x9 (34+), R=19x9.5 (32+) and It's due to arrive anytime now I might consider going with another offset (unless every1 think I'll be ok with those offset sitting on NF210 245x35 and 275x30 are ok without any need for rolling fenders then i'll keep it) if not you interested let me know..

Ive personally test fitted 19's with an offset of 20 on my slammed GS. 8.5 front, and 9.5 rear, I forget the tire specs but they were stretched. I had no issues in my rear, but the front would have needed shaving/flare. God it looked gangster........too gangster for me

nah he dont need camber. air setup gives a camber itself already. I have air runner and my specs is on the 1st page. i say u go 28 in the rear and 30 in the front. i mean be a little safe :P if anything go 28 in the front also. but the tires have to stretched like a **** so u dont have rubbing issue.
